Slade is hired to persuade five men to visit the plantation of a man they have never met. Fifteen years after five comrades had saved themselves by handing him to the Apaches as a slave, an ex-soldier prepares five graves for them, with a sixth for Shotgun Slade. 

An old friend contacts Slade for a special favor. Slade owes him a favor and leaves immediately and soon finds that the friend needs a different kind of help.
